James Cameron Sued for Allegedly Stealing 'Avatar' Idea

James Cameron's former employee has just filed a lawsuit against him claiming the writer/director stole the idea for Avatar from him!

It's a pretty sizable claim considering the huge success of the film, but then again, it's not the first lawsuit against the film for the same reason.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eric Ryder filed the lawsuit in L.A. claiming he wrote a story titled K.R.Z. 2068 in 1999. The story was about a "environmentally-themed 3-D epic about a corporation's colonization and plundering of a distant moon's lush and wondrous natural setting," the complaint states.
